Info

Don't rm the trashCommands can be categorized as harmless or harmful. Most commands fall within the first category,but there is one that is very common and that has been known to produce a lot of damage in the worldof computers. The dreaded command is rm, which has wiped out numerous hard drives, makingprecious volumes of data inaccessible. The Linux desktop has borrowed the concept of trash fromother desktops and the default action when deleting a file is sending it to the Trash. Sending filesthere is a good practice, so that no unintentional removing is done. But this trash is no magic location;it's just a hidden folder, usually located in ~/.local.In this part, we will be looking at a utility tool designed to work with trash. We will install it with:sudo apt install trash-cliThis will install multiple commands. Let's look at our current directory that contains quite a few files.
Let's assume we don't need the files starting with file.*In order to remove files we will use:trash filename(There is a separate command for working with the trash. We will rehash to reload our path.) We listall the trash commands. The command for listing the trash content is:trash-list
